[QUOTE="Rabbits by Accident, post: 343165, member: 8061"] You can catch a LOT of flies in a homemade trap. Just cut a 1 liter (or maybe in your case a 2 liter) plastic bottle in half about 1/3 down from the top. Invert the top and stick it down into the lower part. Put meat (shrimp shells work great) in some water and put it inside. Set it outside and it will fill with flies. I think it ATTRACTS them though, so I quit doing it. The flies crawl in through the bottle neck, but can't figure out how to get back out. [ATTACH type="full" alt="assembleandbaityourtrap-56a337fa5f9b58b7d0d0fc01.png"]30158[/ATTACH] I tried using one inside, with less odiferous contents, but I wasn't able to find anything that attracted the flies in my house. It did work, but only randomly. If you could figure something out that didn't stink, it would work indoors. I tried sour milk, wine and a couple other things, but no joy.
